Verdict

KIRKUK (9) probably should have won last start over 2000m at this track after taking a while to find clear galloping room. Dropping back 600m obviously sounds alarms, but his form at the trip is difficult to fault, particularly here. Beautifully in after the claim so happy to roll the dice. The promising OAKFIELD UTAH (2) is the obvious threat on the back of two comfortable wins, the latest in a BM64 at Newcastle over today's journey. Just needs luck slotting in from a tricky draw to be right in the finish again. Veteran C'MON MATE (3) caught the eye when resuming over 1200m here three weeks ago, beaten under a length following a slow start. In the money at 14 of 23 Kembla runs. However, the zero placings from five second-up runs is a downer. SPIRITUALISTIC (7) led everywhere bar where it counts over 1300m at Hawkesbury last time. Goes best with the runs spaced - sure to give a great sight. SATNESS (1) returned in fine shape last time and is a must for exotics players.

Chasing a hat-trick. Most recently favourite; scored a big 3 len win at Newcastle on August 1 over 1400m on a soft track defeating Philatelic carrying 59.5kg at $2.25. Before that favourite; came from midfield and won by 1.75 len at Tamworth on July 3 over 1200m on a rain affected track defeating Deebo with 61kg at $1.90. In great form and should be right in the thick of things again.

Recent form sound. Last start 2nd in a small field in a Bm64 at this track on August 8 over 2000m, nose behind Celebrity with 55kg at $8. Before that 3rd of 8 in a Mid Bm68 at Gosford on July 18 over 1600m, on rain affected going; 5 len behind Dollars carrying 55.5kg at $3.10. Nice effort last time. Back sharply in trip but his 1400m stats are good enough.

Verdict
Third-up today and won third-up in the past. Resuming sat behind the speed prior to fading to run last of 13 in a Prov Bm68 at Illawarra Grange on July 30 over 1200m, 8 len behind Heuristic with 52kg at $51. Second-up ran second last of 8 in a Prov Bm68 at this track on August 8 over 1200m, 4 len behind Zaragoza carrying 52kg at $41. Likely to find this out of reach.
